Euro 2016 thread

That is disgraceful. They should not be allowed to hold ANY sporting events in the future. Bloody hell they're behaving like third world dictatorship!

 

Come on Wes and Robbie!

 

ROI doing really well, Robbie and Wes both having good games. Decent game.

 

This made me roar with laughter. Full marks to the instigator

...and if you needed proof!

Get the feck in!!!!

 

WES oh yes!!!!!!

 

Odds on Olsson getting an equaliser, and Brady a last minute winner?

 

This game is so open, stretched and a ripper so far

 

Martin Olsson has played a blinder in this game.
Been given too much space but you've still got to uitlise it

 

Irish riding their luck. Olsson tearing them apart down the left. Best game so far.

 

Goal for Hoolahan, good game for Brady and Olsson is man of the match. Reasonable days work for our Euro Canaries.

Good stuff from the City contingent. Italy were mighty impressive last night. Belguim were however as disappointing as Italy were impressive.

Bah!

 

I'm sure I've seen somewhere that Hoolahan is the oldest player to score in the Euros!!!

 

Found this short video of the Italians defending interesting

 

It's also interesting that despite almost all reports blaming the trouble on Russian, English & French yobs. Uefa only seem to be threatening Russia & England with being thrown out of the tournament.

 

Maybe this year, but according to wiki he'd have to play in not just the next euro championship but the one after that to beat the current record of:

Oldest goalscorer
38 years and 257 days, Ivica Vastić (

Wes will be 38 by the next Euro championship but only just (May 20th). So I'm not sure he'll pinch that record!

Bah!

 

Well they should be organised apparently the 3 CB's & goalkeeper all play for the same Italian team. There's a lot to be said for consistency with team selection, something Leicester learnt this season and hopefully something AN has now learnt.

 

Yes, the Goalkeeper and back 3 all play for Juventus, Italy were a well organised unit last night in stark contrast to Belgium who looked like they were playing their first game together. Hazard had to over complicate everything, trying to do a trick or beat two men before eventually playing the simple pass he could have done when he first got the ball - by which time he had slowed down their attack to walking pace. Fellaini, Witsel and Nainngolan were sucked into the ball every time leaving massive gaps in the midfield. And why would you split up a CB pairing of Alderweirald and Vertonghen (who play together week in week out for Spurs) by sticking Vermaelan in CB and shifting Vertonghen

Some Russian 'fans' deported from France.

Heading to France at the weekend.

Still, I've packed sensibly!
